Driveway Company in Fauldhouse
Prestige Paving & Landscaping Ltd has been laying driveways, patios and paths across Central Scotland for over 20 years, and the villages along the West Lothian and Lanarkshire border are firmly on our patch. We’ve completed driveways in nearby Harthill, and when you choose us you deal with one small team throughout: no call centres and no subcontractors you haven’t met.
Fauldhouse sits on high, exposed ground, and that makes the base under a driveway even more important. We dig out to the full depth, lay a weed membrane and build a crushed-stone sub-base compacted in layers. That foundation is what stops frost, water and traffic from sinking or cracking the surface over time.
- Honest guidance, with no hard sell
- Clear fixed prices, agreed in writing
- A tidy, considerate crew on site
- Residential and commercial work, cards accepted
Monoblocking & block paving in Fauldhouse
Monoblock Driveways in Fauldhouse
Monoblock is the driveway we lay most in Fauldhouse. It’s strong, repairable and available in plenty of colours, patterns and border styles.
Prestige Paving lay monoblock driveways across Fauldhouse, Longridge, Stoneyburn and Breich, from neat single drives to large double driveways with paths and turning space. Block paving copes well with hard frosts, heavy rain and daily use, and it makes a real difference to the look of your property from the street.
Once the old surface is out, we lay and compact a stone sub-base and set the edging in concrete to keep everything tight. The blocks are laid by hand on a screeded sand bed, carefully cut around drains, kerbs and steps, then finished with kiln-dried sand compacted into every joint.
Levels are set so water drains away from your house, and because the blocks are laid individually, a section can be lifted and put back later if pipes or cables need attention, with no visible patch.
Block Paving Styles
Herringbone pattern
The strongest pattern for driveways. Blocks lock together and resist movement from turning tyres.
Contrasting borders
A charcoal, red or Sky Cobble border frames the drive. A popular choice for Fauldhouse driveways.
Tumbled & cobble blocks
Rumbled blocks such as Sky Cobble give a softer, traditional look that suits Fauldhouse’s older miners’ rows and stone cottages.
Permeable block paving
Wider joints filled with fine stone let rain soak through, helping drainage and planning compliance.
Feature details
Inset diamonds, bands, curves and steps, with colours chosen to suit your brick, render and roof.
Re-lays & replacements
Sunken or tired block paving lifted, the base rebuilt, and relaid or replaced with new blocks.
How we build it
From dig-out to finished drive
This job in Harthill, just a few miles from Fauldhouse, turned a front garden into off-street parking with a block border. Here’s how each stage looked.
Free survey & quote
We visit, measure up, check levels and drainage, and talk you through surfaces, colours and borders. You get a fixed written price.
Dig-out & groundwork
We excavate to the right depth, remove the waste, lay a weed membrane and install any drainage the driveway needs.
Compacted sub-base
A deep layer of crushed stone is laid and compacted in stages: the foundation that stops a driveway sinking or rutting.
Edging & borders
Kerbs and border blocks are set in concrete so the edges stay crisp and the surface can’t spread.
Your chosen surface
Monoblock, resin, tarmac or gravel is laid, levelled and finished by hand, with falls set so water runs away from your house.
Clean-up & handover
We clear every bit of waste, sweep and wash down, and walk you round the finished job.
Local know-how
Driveways for every type of Fauldhouse home
Fauldhouse mixes former miners’ rows, post-war houses and newer estates, all on high ground. Each needs a slightly different approach.
Front garden conversions
On streets where parking is tight, we turn front gardens into off-street parking. If you need a dropped kerb, West Lothian Council has to approve it, and we’ll guide you through it.
Older stone-built homes
Older stone properties in Fauldhouse and Longridge suit tumbled blocks, cobble edging and natural stone in traditional colours.
New-build upgrades
Newer homes often come with a narrow builder’s drive. We widen it, add a contrasting border or replace it with monoblock or resin.
Sloping driveways
Fauldhouse gets more than its share of rain and frost. On sloping plots we set levels carefully and fit channel drains and steps so water is carried away from your home.
Wider drives for more cars
Space for another car, a work van or a caravan, matched to your existing surface wherever we can.
Drainage done properly
Permeable surfaces, drains and soakaways keep rainwater within your boundary, which usually means no planning application is needed.
Resin bound driveways
Resin Driveways in Fauldhouse
A resin-bound driveway gives a smooth, modern finish that’s very easy to keep clean. Natural stone is mixed with a clear UV-stable resin and hand-trowelled into a seamless surface with no loose gravel, no ruts and no gaps for weeds.
Because it’s permeable, rain drains straight through rather than collecting on the surface, which suits Fauldhouse’s wet weather and helps with planning rules. Popular Daltex colours include Oyster and Platinum, often finished with a block border.
- Laid on a sound existing surface or a new permeable base
- Smooth, clean and low maintenance
- Resin that won’t yellow over time

Tarmacadam driveways
Tarmac Driveways in Fauldhouse
Tarmac is tough, practical and good value, which makes it a natural fit for Fauldhouse’s longer drives, rural entrances out towards Breich and Bents, and drives that take several vehicles. Finished with a block border, it looks neat and sharp.
We lay it hot on a compacted stone base with concrete-set kerbs and roll it to a dense, smooth surface, like the Sky Cobble-edged drive we laid in nearby Harthill. It sheds water well and handles hard winters.
- Block and Sky Cobble edging
- New parking from front gardens
- Most drives finished in a day or two
Gravel & chip driveways
Gravel Driveways in Fauldhouse
Gravel and chip driveways are quick, affordable and free-draining, which makes them popular for farm cottages and bigger plots around Fauldhouse. Laid on a firm base with solid edging, the stone stays even and doesn’t spread onto paths or lawns.
We also combine chips and slate with slabs or monoblock to create tidy, low-maintenance front gardens.
- Gravel, slate and decorative chips
- Grids for slopes and turning areas
- Kerb or block edging to hold the stone
Patios & paving
Patios in Fauldhouse
We build patios that stay flat, dry quickly after rain and make the garden somewhere you want to be. From small seating areas to full back-garden makeovers, we lay slab and natural stone patios, paths and steps across Fauldhouse and the surrounding villages.
One recent West Lothian project in Blackburn used Brookstone slabs in Sky and Meadow Stone in a two-tone pattern, with new lawns and crisp edging.
- Concrete, porcelain and natural stone slabs
- Paths, steps and handrails
- Built with falls so water drains away
Repairs & restoration
Driveway Repairs in Fauldhouse
Not every tired driveway needs replacing. If the blocks or slabs are sound, a deep clean, re-sand and seal, or relaying a sunken section, can bring it back for much less than a new drive, and it’s a good way to clear the moss that builds up on damp, high ground.
If the drive has failed because there was never a proper base, we’ll tell you honestly that replacing it is the lasting fix, as with this West Lothian drive where worn red paving was replaced with new Sky Cobble monoblock.
- Sunken areas lifted, re-based and relaid
- Pressure washing, moss removal, re-sanding and sealing
- Loose edging reset and puddles fixed

Good to know
Driveway questions we’re often asked
How much does a driveway cost in Fauldhouse?
Prices vary with the size of the drive, the amount of ground to remove, access, and the surface, border and drainage you choose. Gravel and tarmac are generally the cheapest options, while monoblock and resin cost more but last longer with less maintenance. We visit Fauldhouse homes for a free survey and give a fixed price in writing.
Are monoblock and block paving different?
No, they’re the same. Monoblock is the everyday Scottish name for concrete block paving, so a monoblock driveway in Fauldhouse is exactly the same product and installation as a block paved one.
Can my front garden be turned into parking?
Yes, and it’s one of the most common jobs we do in Fauldhouse. We dig out the garden, build a compacted stone base and lay the surface you want. A new dropped kerb needs West Lothian Council’s permission, and we’ll explain the process when we survey.
Will my driveway need planning permission?
Normally not, as long as rainwater drains within your own property, for example through resin-bound, gravel or permeable block paving, or onto a lawn, border or soakaway. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas can be different, and new or wider dropped kerbs need council consent.
How long does it take to install a driveway?
Most Fauldhouse driveways are finished in one to four days. Gravel and tarmac often take a day or two; larger monoblock or resin drives with borders, steps and drainage take a little longer. We confirm the timescale before work starts.
Can you repair a driveway that has sunk?
Usually. We lift the sunken blocks, rebuild and compact the base underneath and relay them so the repair matches the rest. If the drive was laid without a proper base, we’ll give you an honest view on whether replacing it is the better option.
How do I stop moss and weeds in block paving?
A membrane under the base and properly filled joints keep most growth out. On high, damp ground moss can build up in the joints over time, and a professional clean, re-sand and seal will clear it. We offer that service in Fauldhouse.

Yes, all of our work is guaranteed. We’re a vetted Checkatrade member, rated 9.83/10 from 50 verified reviews, and Checkatrade’s £1,000 guarantee applies to eligible jobs (their T&Cs apply).
